Hello interweb community, we are bodycity. Hi!
We are a dance troupe based in LA. Our little video here is a compilation of stills from several of our dances over the last 2 years. It also features a sneak peak of the first rehearsal of a dance we are building for a Halloween performance. So you get to see all of the members past and present of bodycity as well as some sweet new moves. Right now, bodycity has 10 members, but we also work, tour, travel, and sometimes get a little sick...so not everyone could make it to last nights rehearsal, but if we stick around, you'll get to meet all of us!
Our mission statement says a little something about us too:
bodycity is a dance democracy. we are completely ensemble based, each of us with varying levels of training. we are all creative directors. our dances challenge the notion of dance and choreography as a traditional/singular vocabulary performed by specific dance "types." we are dedicated to the site specific. we are interested in the humorous, perplexing, delightful, weird, pensive, beautiful, exciting and lively.
And, of course, we have a blog and more photos to look at, and some really great videos!
Yip! Yip! Yip! bodycity is ready to dance 4.0!

The joy I feel at your participation in this auspicious competition is literally trouncing me. They don't know what's gonna hit them!

Dear Body City,
One of my biggest summer regrets was that I left Belmont Dreams to early to see your performance.
Please bring it.

My favorite part of the video is when you're doing the still animation and you can see the cat tail moving.

hhihihihihih.
i want to start an interactive dance democracy where i live, in milwaukee. people here always seem too weirded out and shy about anything of this nature here, though.
my question is how did bodycity come together, and what has the evolution process been like?
you are inspiring.
thank you.
love, erin

Dear Body City,
One of my greatest fortunes was to be staying at the Belmont Dreams in LA when you performed there. Thank you
